AQWA (Aquarium of Western Australia) alone was worth the trip, but combined with Fremantle Prison tour this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

Our trip to Perth was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Pinnacles Desert tour was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond Fremantle Markets area and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Booked this as a couple trip and it was well paced. Elizabeth Quay in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.
